A Temporary  Resident Permit (TRP) is a document that authorizes a person who is inadmissible to Canada or does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations either as a temporary resident or as a permanent resident to enter or remain in Canada. Basically, TRPs allow officers to respond to exceptional circumstances while meeting Canada’s social, humanitarian, and economic commitments. 

The following applicants are eligible for a TRP:

Any person who is: 

• Inadmissible and seeking to come into Canada if an officer is of the opinion that it is justified in the circumstances;
• in Canada and is inadmissible, subject to a report or reportable for violation of the Act, or does not otherwise meet the requirements of the Act;
• not eligible for restoration of status.

Officers must consider:

1. the factors that make the person’s presence in Canada necessary (e.g., family ties, job qualifications, economic contribution, temporary attendance at an event);
2. the intention of the legislation (e.g., protecting public health or the health care system).

The assessment may involve:

1. the essential purpose of the person’s presence in Canada;
2. the type/class of application and pertinent family composition, both in the home country and in Canada;
3. if medical treatment is involved, whether or not the treatment is reasonably available in Canada or elsewhere (comments on the relative costs/accessibility may be helpful), and the anticipated effectiveness of treatment;
4. the tangible or intangible benefits which may accrue to the person concerned and to others; and
5. the identity of the sponsor (in a foreign national case) or host or employer (in a temporary resident case).

How long a TPR is granted? 

An initial permit may be granted for a maximum of three years and may be extended for another two years.  Depending upon the reason for entry to Canada, the time request could be for as short as one day.

It is important to be aware that a TRP is deemed cancelled when the permit holder leaves Canada unless the document authorizes re-entry.
